Determine the correctness or otherwise Assertion (A) and the Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In a power plant working on a Rankine cycle, the regenerative feed water heating improves the efficiency of the steam turbine.
Reason (R): The regenerative feed water heating raises the average temperature of heat addition in the Rankine cycle.
-
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct reason for (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct reason for (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are false
- (A) is false but (R) is true
Correct Option: A
In a regenerative the heat added in low temperature range is reduced which increase heat addition temperature.
